We are incredibly focused, and our work in each of these areas is designed to either:

drive revenue and/or investment for the sports organisation

improve cost efficiencies for the sports organisation

protect the sports organisation and its officers.

The WMSG team comprises expert lawyers who have worked in the sports law profession for many years, but whom have also spent time on the 'other side of the fence' within sports organisations – including, for example, as Commercial Director of a Premier League club. We understand the daily challenges and opportunities faced by sports clubs, and we work very hard to make sure that the work that we do provides a demonstrable net-benefit for the club.

Football

WMSG acts for several high-profile Premier League and Championship clubs, handling a variety of matters – from corporate, to commercial, to transfers, to disciplinary hearings. Our strength is our 'inside knowledge' and recognition that the legal advice and assistance we provide must advance the club's chances of success on the field.
